This has been a very enjoyable and rewarding project. Thanks for the tips and help from this board as well as the spirit of this group, without which Pete would probably still be Primer Pete, 3rd runner up in the 'Ugly but working cub' contest

Absolutely gorgeous Art! Thanks for putting such good directions on the photo site. I shouldn't have any trouble finding Pete!
One question though, did you dish the front wheels out to match the rears? I have the rears set out on Curly but I left the fronts dished in.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Pete looks totally stunning. Excellent job. Brolly looks good too! I really like the grille. It turned out very well. Is that Bruce's grille or the OEM one? I am assuming it is Bruce's. The battery box looks pretty posh as well
I really like the twinkle on the hood. It is almost as if Pete is winking at us, all proud of himself in his new clothes!
You really should be proud of your restoration. It is awesome!

thanks, guys. i'm very happy with it. taking it to a show right now for the weekend.
the paint is Emron, my body shops choice, color matched to ih2150 that i had painted the front wheels with. oh, but they weren't good enough for Joe, so he masked off the tires and shot them again! (neat trick - he let the air out of the tires, then masking them was easy with the tire off the bead) my only criteria was that the paint be hard and withstand gas spills/fumes/sediment bowl leaks/etc. not exactly 'correct' but a gas stained hood isn't either.
off to the show for a weekend of R & R.
gees John, your offer is mighty tempting! Bruce, i regret not being able to fit your grill on this tractor as Pete was at the shop. I'm going to paint it up with my hvlp gun and see how it matches. perhaps with a little clearcoat it will work.
